Oh yeah, steel on the fly is one of my favs in the fall. Actually steelhead in the spring are pretty good too!

3-4 times a year, mostly with a float and spinning gear. Some day I'll break out the fly rod. I'm a big fan of small soft plastics.

Steelie 'on-the-fly'

Hoping to get out at least twice a week this fall. Mostly south shore. If the waters right got a couple spots on the north shore that produce good in fall.

Well of coarse. Fishing the Brule and the Flag are a must. Everyday is a great day to be fishing, just made plans to head to Pickerel Lake for next week. Should be fantastic.

Me. Ontario. Spring.

Count me!

Love trout fishing but havent gone for steelhead yet. When do they run in fall?

Yes, a good part of the population run in the fall. They enter great lakes rivers (some rivers) in later sept and then a bigger fall run starts in Oct., with meanest, fightingest' bruisers caught in Nov. A lot of early fish follow the salmon and are eating the eggs. Fish continue trickling in all winter, then another run starts in March/April for the spring spawn. A good book for midwest/northern waters is Steelhead Dreans by Matt Supinski. I love steelhead!

Hard core steelheader. Used to chase them 12 months out of the year, but tired of chasing summer runs in jungle like settings. Winter is my favorite time- No Skeeters or ticks!

Just got back from a week of steelhead fishing on the Brule. A little slow but enough action each day to keep you interested. Lot's of browns in there right now though.
